Afghanistan journalists face serious threats in conflict areas.
Afghan journalists have stopped working in Taliban controlled areas.
The group Nai-Supporting Open Media in Afghanistan said Monday that Afghan journalists are facing serious threats in conflict areas in Afghanistan.
This comes as heavy fighting is underway between Taliban and Afghan National Defense and Security Forces in numerous provinces around the country.
According to Nai some journalists have fled areas recently seized by the Taliban.
“In the areas where fighting is ongoing, government has looked at a place for journalists, and will transfer them if the situation gets worse,” said Mujib Khalwatgar, head of Nai.
